17.6 Managing Directory Objects

Sometimes it is necessary to locate or modify objects during your project development. Rather than using a separate management interface, you can use the eDirectory Browser to browse to and edit attributes of objects in the following locations:

The Identity Vault

Other eDirectory trees

Figure 17-2 Sample eDirectory Browser View

To launch the eDirectory Browser, use the tool-based method or the task-based method. The method you use is largely a matter of preference and the target directory that you will browse.

17.6.1 Tool-Based Method

To access an eDirectory tree other than the Identity Vault, or if there is no Identity Vault defined in your current project, use the tool-based method. You can always launch the eDirectory Browser from the Tools menu, even when an Identity Vault isn’t selected in the Modeler.
